I’m pretty sure you aren’t supposed to put multiple movesets in to one answer so they can be voted on separately.
Ah, didn't want to spam four answers on here...

LOL special Cranidos. Probably wouldn't work though.
With Sheer Force it has decent Special Attack.
A mixed set still is better imo. No matter what you use, Sheer Force or Life Orb, uninvested Head Smash / Earthquake hits harder than maximum power Ancient power / Earth Power.
